WHAT SETS ME APART: Technical Foundation + Business Leadership: My PhD in Nuclear Energy from Cambridge University trained me in rigorous experimental design, statistical analysis, and complex problem-solving. I've published peer-reviewed research in advanced characterization techniques and nuclear materials science. I have created four commercial patents. This technical rigor directly informs how I approach business challenges—using data, analytics, and AI to drive decisions. AI/ML-Powered Operations: I've built and scaled operations using machine learning, predictive analytics, and data science to optimize across the entire P&L: • Revenue optimization through AI-driven pricing and demand forecasting • Customer acquisition cost reduction via ML-based targeting and segmentation • Operational efficiency through predictive maintenance and process automation • Churn prediction and customer lifetime value optimization Data Infrastructure & Analytics: • Built real-time dashboards and KPI tracking systems for operational visibility • Established data governance frameworks and analytics best practices • Trained teams in data literacy and analytics-driven decision-making • Integrated third-party data sources (market data, competitive intelligence, customer behavior) P&L Leadership at Scale: • $40M+ revenue operation with 12% gross profit margin • 300-person cross-functional team (sales, operations, finance, product, customer success) • Managed P&L across multiple business units and geographic markets • Implemented activity-based costing and profitability analysis by customer segment • Optimized unit economics and improved contribution margins through data-driven pricing Strategic Capabilities: • Go-to-market strategy and product-market fit optimization • Organizational scaling and high-performance team development • Cross-functional collaboration and matrix management • Stakeholder management and executive communication • Change management and digital transformation I volunteered on the Advisory Board of the College of Science at Nanyang Technological University Singapore and associate member of several professional organizations, such as the Fellow of Geological Society, London, and the Society of Medical Physicists (Singapore).
